Insulated
Dog House in Aid of Protecting Your Dog

Any
dog owner, irrespective of the breed owned, will always prefer
to see their pet dogs live in a relatively safe and comfortable
atmosphere.

Few people keep their pet dogs inside their home itself and
yet few other people construct dog kennels outside in their
lawns or courtyards and leave their dogs in it.

And whatever may be option chosen, the dog owners are keen
in giving a comfortable living condition for their dogs, be
it inside their home or outside in the kennels.

Facilities
that an Ideal Dog House should Invariably Contain

A
dog house, like any other house for human being, should invariably
be able to extend a safe and comfortable atmosphere for living.

Let us see few of such critical factors that are capable of
either making or doing away with the comforts of the dog living
in now:


The height of any planned dog house should be able to accommodate
the full height of the tallest dog available and there should
be enough space over the dogs head at least 2 to 3 feet
minimum.

Before deciding the height of the dog house, get your dogs
height measured first in its standing position and then decide
your dog house height after providing for the future height
growth of your dog.

Note to add at least one third of the measured height of your
dog and provide sufficient space towards the width portion
of the dog house.


Another important point is that the entry/exit point or the
door of the kennel should be so positioned that it should
be visible to your dog both in its lying and in standing positions.

Further,
the entrance should be large enough for your dog to get in
and out without getting stuck.


The next major factor that decides the comfort level in any
dog kennel is the insulation in the dog house. Majority of
the times.

The
dog will be left in the dog house and only a well insulated
dog house alone can protect your dog from bad weather conditions
such as summer heat, incessant rains, and snow.

A
better insulated dog house will be able to provide warmth
in colder months and cooler atmosphere in summer season there
by giving your dog a cosy living in all the harsh weather
conditions.

 Besides having an insulated dog house, you should also
provide a leak proof roof and the dog house should be made
capable of getting rid of the accumulated humidity inside.

A high humid atmosphere can assist in forming fungus and other
mildew formation that may interfere with your dogs overall
health.

To make this possible many people position the entry and exit
points differently there by giving a chance for the dog to
hide from the natures fury in any one of the places.

Such thoughtfully positioned entry and exit points in an insulated
dog house can greatly enhance the comfort levels of your dog
in all possible climatic conditions.


Further, you can also explore the possibility of constructing
your insulated dog house over stilts so that air can easily
flow below the dog house making it still cooler in summer
months and due to the elevated position, your dog is also
well protected from crawling insects.
